"KEEPING IT REAL"

Feb. 13, 2007

WANT YOUR CHILD TO LEARN SIX PARTS OF SPEECH in less then 1/2 hour?

 

Here's a virtually free grammar game, that I really enjoyed making and Tommie really enjoyed playing....

Since, we recycle everything (almost), I took a pizza lid, hot glued 6 boxes checks come in to the top, and made little index cards (the florescent kind...because they're happy looking!) and printed six different parts of speech/grammar titles on them...I also put the defination on the cards, incase Tommie got mixed up....  I then made a stack of maybe 100 different card strips, with the words that apply to the index cards...I then put, the 100 words in a basket, mixed them up, sat him on the floor, with our Nest video of Abraham Lincoln, playing and he worked independently on his grammar, while watching the movie...while I ran on the treadmill!

Happy to report....he got all but two of them correct...in about 20 minutes.  Of course, we'll have to review...but I think it will be a "welcome review!"

I plan to use this game, again...only replace the index cards with irregular verbs, possesive pronouns, etc. And, now my mind is spinning about what eles I can create!

Thought I'd share this...because it was free, fast and effective!  And, not workbook dry!

P.S.  Yes, that's our perfect family pet, sticking her head in the picture!

What a great idea Michelle! I also read your blogs and can never log into this blogger. Let's see if it worked this time!
